In-Person and Virtual attendance options are available.
Presented by the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center
In Co-Sponsorship with
12th Annual Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging for the Clinician is offered in cooperation with the American Society of Echocardiography
Cardiovascular imaging plays a vital role in the management of the cardiovascular patient. Knowledge of various imaging modalities is critical to understanding their advantages, limitations and appropriate utilization in patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, masses, valvular disease, and aortic disease.
This conference offers the opportunity, in addition to didactic lectures by world experts, to participate in small-group tutorials in each imaging modality. Demonstrations of heart anatomy assist in visualizing and understanding cardiac and valvular structure to enhance correlations with cardiac imaging.
Please note that the video recording of the conference will be available exclusively for attendees to view for up to three months after the activity (recording will not be certified for CE credit).

Upon completion of this live activity, the participant should be able to:
- Discuss new developments in multimodality imaging
- Compare the different types of imaging for the assessment of ischemia to determine which is the most beneficial for the specified clinical question
- Evaluate valve and heart morphology and relate them to valvular imaging and interventions
- Describe the timing and interventions in common valvular disorders
- Discuss how imaging can be utilized to differentiate cardiomyopathies and masses
- Explain the role of imaging in vascular disease and diseases of the aorta
- Summarize the most common congenital heart disease disorders seen in the adult and their salient imaging features
